  • Summary

  • In this episode of Swimming the Strait, I talk with Corinna Connor, marathon swimmer, librarian, and cellist, about her first attempt to swim the Cook Strait. This is the first of a two-part conversation where we explore what it means to show up for something big, face the unexpected, and keep moving forward.

    Corinna shares what drew her to long-distance swimming, what it felt like to take on such a massive challenge, and the mindset it takes to keep going, even when things don’t go to plan. It’s a powerful reminder that courage isn’t just about crossing the finish line, it’s about how we meet ourselves in the middle of the unknown.
